If you are like me and do not have cable but want to watch a program or Ron Paul interview from a cable news outlet, here are a few links I found. I don't know if anyone can benefit from this, but I just thought I would put it out there. Bye the way, I tried to find Fox Business, but came up with nothing.

Fox News:

CNN

http://www.tvpc.com/Channel.php?ChannelID=2489

C-Span

http://www.tvpc.com/Channel.php?ChannelID=2681

CNBC

and Food network for some down time

Cool. I thought Fox shut down all the live streams.

Thanks.

A multi-channel DVR (homebrew) would be a very useful tool. If hearing impaired feeds could be tapped into via streaming or regular cable/fiber service it should be easy to write a script so that if a keyword/phrase is seen - like "Ron Paul" start recording and keep recording for x minutes while monitoring ALL channels.

Very useful in an actual boots on the ground way would be monitoring the streams of local affiliate stations in states where straw polls, visits and primaries are upcoming to get a good idea of support in the area.

Something similar could be donew with google news or individual newspaper sites.

Why is a political tool "off topic"?

You could have at least moved it into the Activist Toolkit section so it could be found again.
